Summary of Meetings

EVE Session #2 – Baltimore (13~14.9.2012) Finalized TOR, initial discussions to develop an EV reference guide.

EVE Session #3 – Conference Call (27.11.2012) Proposed a format for the reference guide and questionnaire.

EVE Session #4 – Geneva (14.1.2013) Confirmed the format for the reference guide and questionnaire, initiated

information gathering. Concurrence from GRPE on progress report and terms of reference

EVE Session #5 – Tokyo (11-~12.4.2013) Completed information gathering, discussion of completed questionnaires

by contracting parties and summary presentation.EVE Session #6 – Geneva (3.6.2013)

Reference Guide Development

Questionnaire submitted by 9 organizations will inform the development of the reference guide Contractor was retained to assist in the information

gathering phase for the guide and presented findings in Tokyo.

Definitions continue to evolve. EVE will use the common definitions from other IWG’s and VPSD.

OICA has agreed to review first draft of the reference guide EVE also seeking other volunteers to participate in drafting

and review of the guide. Pending funding, the contractor will also assist in

drafting the guide.

Proposed Reference Guide Recommendations

Potential gaps in the regulatory landscape regarding electrified vehicle performance have been identified as the result of the information gathering phase: Vehicle energy efficiency/range:

Cabin heating, Air conditioning, potential battery temperature effect on capacity and efficiency, potential battery state of charge effect on efficiency, road gradient, energy equivalency conversion methods

Battery performance/durability: Battery durability effect on range, potential battery durability effect on kWh/km,

battery performance effect on emissions, battery management system performance

Some of these gaps are will be addressed in future phases of WLTP Gaps were discussed and EVE will continue working with CPs,

stakeholders and other IWGs to develop recommendations for the guide, including future potential development of a gtr CPs and stakeholders are invited to submit further literature/data that will

bolster recommendations for the guide

Proposed Reference Guide Information Sharing

3 areas have been identified that will be included in the reference guide for information only Regulatory incentives

For example multipliers for electrified vehicles Regulatory standards

How are electrified vehicles incorporated in fuel economy calculations

EV Charging Infrastructure and standardization of charging Issues identified with vehicle response to charging shall

be covered in the focus areas identified above.

EVE Next steps

Draft EVE Reference Guide Transpose information collected with the questionnaires and

discuss first draft at EVE-07 in Beijing Develop reference guide recommendations

Conduct EV research and/or testing to support guide recommendations Gather and analyze literature/data from other contracting parties

Coordinate with other GRPE working groups WLTP, VPSD, HDH, EPPR, EVS

Continue EV information sharing presentations All stakeholders are invited to present or submit topics of

interests for presentations Continue sharing information on standardization
